1. The lack of any credible and verifiable evidence IS EVIDENCE that something does not exist, especially when millions of people have desperately sought for any evidence, for many millennia. (The fact that I cannot produce a Gennie-in-a-Bottle for you to look at, is evidence that I do not have a Gennie-in-a-Bottle. The fact that no one has ever been able to produce a Gennie-in-a-Bottle, is evidence that no one has ever had a Gennie-in-a-Bottle. I will start to care about Gennie-in-a-Bottle, when some evidence for its existence is produced). Secular religious scholars study the progressive and incremental formation of a specific god belief - how the ‘god’ changes over time by the efforts and inputs of its proponents (and then ‘dies’! The vast majority of all gods have since ‘died’ from abandonment!).

2. The lack of any credible and verifiable evidence indicates that none of the gods people believe in today, or ever believed in, exists. I will start to care about god(s), when some evidence for its existence is produced

3. An historical Jesus may have existed, but certainly not as incredible or as so detailed in the bible. Any historical Jesus could not have been a god, as there is no evidence that any god(s) have ever existed

4. People fabricate and lie, or are deluded, or simply mistaken. Making false and unverifiable claims is easy. Providing irrefutable evidence is hard. There is no credible and verifiable evidence to indicate that god(s) exist. I will start to care about god(s), when some evidence for its existence is produced

5. It is illogical and irrational to give a pass to all the unsupportable god claims ever made, or for claimants to expect others to disprove their god claims.
